Bend Mountain Bike Shuttle Update
May 4, 2026
Daily shuttles are running to Wanoga and Swampy Sno Parks.
Tiddlywinks and Sector 16 Trails are closed for wildfire mitigation for a few weeks. Please stay off the trails during the closure.
Maximize your time on the bike with Cog Wild’s mountain bike shuttles to the popular trailheads near Bend, Oregon. Operating from mid May until the end of October, the shuttles depart multiple times per day.
Guide or rescue service is not included with the shuttle; riders need to be self sufficient. Shuttlers are advised to carry a map, a charged cell phone, tools for trailside bike repairs, a first aid kit, clothing appropriate for the weather and enough food and water to support themselves for a day on trail.
Daily Mountain Bike Shuttles in Bend
Meet the shuttle at Cog Wild’s Bend location: 115 SW Columbia Ave. The driver can provide input on routes. Santa Cruz E-bikes, full suspension or hardtail rental bikes are available daily.
Trailhead locations:
Cog wild shuttles travel west on the Cascade Lakes Highway to Wanoga, Swampy or Dutchman Trailheads. From the trailhead, choose your own adventure on singletrack back to where you began.
Wanoga
Wanoga is the lowest elevation trailhead and typically opens in mid May. These blue and black trails can be challenging for newer or younger riders.
Swampy Lakes
Swampy Lakes is slightly higher than Wanoga and tends to open in June. The mixed use trails are generally less technical and not purpose built.
Dutchman Flat
Dutchman is the highest elevation trailhead, it opens in mid July once the snow melts off the trails. Please stay off middle Flagline Trail until August 15 to give the elk ample time to raise their babies.
Sunriver Mountain Bike Shuttle
Catch the famous Cog Wild shuttle now departing from Sunriver. Ride trails from Wanoga or Swampy back to Sunriver.
See trailhead info above to plan your route.
